Speech of Mr.. Reid Parker Before the
Farmers Convention at Atlanta.
Atlanta Constitution.

| Atlanta Constitution.
One of the most original and prac-
teal speeches delivered during the
session of the Farmers Convention
here was an off-hand address by Mr..
Reid Parker, of North Carolina. He
said
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: | hold that the people
in the main do the best they know
how for themselves. When we see a
man buy fertilizers, we conclude that
he knows no better. Applause. And
if We find that poor farmer has gone
to town and mortgaged his mule and
himself for a spurious article of COM
mercial fertilizers, we conclude at
once that he thinks it is best for him.
He does not know any better. APP
plause. five sec man that plants
all cotton, and is blowing four mules,
and with poor harness, and with sore
shouldered mules, and with dull i'm
plements and poor land, we know at
a glance that that man does not know
any better. Renewed applause. It
NUNS there. The girls are skinny
headed and ugly. The boys are ugly;
the old woman was cross; the old man
had sore tooth, and all was sad and
lonely. Now, cannot some hope and
help shine out from the dark cloud
into these places? You have them
everywhere, thousands of them.
Now, if we can reach this man, stir
him up, open his eyes, get him to
thinking, reading, and talking with
men and among men, it will wake
that man up. How are you going to
do it? The only way is to hold agri-
cultural and farming institutions in
every State in the South, and pick out
your best home talent, and get these
scientific men from your agricultural
departments, and 60 out there and
spend three or four days teaching,
just like the teacher teaches in the
Southern schools.
We had an institute over in Ran
dolph last week. There is man upon
this floor that read paper there that
thrilled them through. 1t was worth
tons upon tons, and it stirred them up.
| insist that every county in these
Southern States ought to have an in
stitution like that. The states ought
to help. In North Carolina it does
not cost one copper. II the states and
agricultural departments will help, you
will see them bloom and blossom like
rose all over the land" Great
applause.

TO THE PREACHERS.

We have on our subscription book
the names of very nearly one hundred
preachers who receive and read this
paper regularly hence we take the
liberty to remind them of the impor-
lance of keeping before their hearers
the necessity of practicing economy.
The Lord has blessed us with album
dant harvests, and every poor colored
person ought to be the more industri-
Gus and economical and let the bene-
fits of these blessings be seen in after
days.
Our preachers have hard time
generally, but it comes principally
from the reason that our people are
too poor to pay them. Then is it not
clear that whenever the people get in
better circumstances the preachers
will be better paid, better cared for,
&c? 1t is duty the preachers owe
themselves, their fellowman and their
God, to improve the condition of
man. The best way to do that is to
make them more industrious, frugal,
moral and intellectual, all of which
helps in making better Christians.
As has been oft asserted, the civili-
cation as well as the salvation of the
Negro is with the teachers and preach
ers. Their influence is powerful with
the people, and good minister al
ways tries throw his influence in a
proper way.
1t is not our duty to lay out the
preachers duty, but we will always
do all in our power as journalist, to
ameliorate the condition of a long OPP
pressed people. The MESSENGER is
and has been free to give honor and
praise to our worthy public servants.
That we will continue to do, and as
an evidence of our sincerity, VIC offer
special rates to preachers of a regular
charge. We do not do this because
we think they are unable to pay, but
as an annual contribution of so cents
to every preacher that subscribes or
renews after this. Dr. Talmage's SER
mons are worth more than a dollar to
every preacher that will take the
trouble to read them.
Notices and reports of meetings will
be published free OF charge. No pref
erence will be shown Baptists, Pres
byterians, Methodists or Episcopaliars.
Our columns are open to all. Short
letters on the progress and needs OF
our people are specially solicited from
preachers and teachers.

Ii was run in the interest of one Of
our churches let us see how it and
the cxcursionists were benefited. The
church came out $500 in debt to the
Railroad Company. Can't any sane
person see that we are enriching Rail
road corporations and impoverishing
ourselves? The excursionists were
not benefited by an equivalent for
their time and money, nor made any
wiser or better. The poor laborers of
Salisbury are $1,000 poorer in cash,
besides losing two days work, and the
corporations that much richer. Be-
sides, eight young men of Statesville
and one of this town are in the chain
gang to serve term of six months
for fighting So much for a church or
Sunday-school excursion. Now, in
all probability, there are mothers,
sisters, or others, depending on these
young men for daily bread. Any one
can see the suffering excursions pro-
duce. Our ministers form the larger
portion of our intelligent men, and
for them to take the lead in this in
ducement to crime and poverty is a
shame upon this enlightened age
The Church, societies and selfish indi-
viduals lead the thoughtless mass to
spend $500 that they may obtain
$1.00, besides opening the avenue of
sin. Ought we not teach them les
sons of economy and advise them to
sacrifice as much pleasure as possible,
and invest their hard earnings in real
estate, and thus secure them homes
and make few steps in the road to-
ward independence. Five dollars per
month invested in building and loan
association will, in few years, pay
for nice home. Would it not be far
better for the ministers and men of in
fuence to persuade and convince their
congregations and the people general
ly that it is their sacred duty to sup
port their ministers and beautify their
churches by free will offerings instead
of resofting to these methods which
do, many times. more harm than good
This no intelligent person will deny.
Let the press of the country denounce
this foul way of securing money for
churches, societies, and selfish indi-
viduals, and by so doing many homes
that are now depressed with gloom
and desolation will feel the bright and
refreshing sunlight of prosperity and
happiness. Yours for the welfare of
the race. OCCASIONALLY.

ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentcry,
and q host Of other ailments, foc all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt. and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use Of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac.
tice, shows Enthusiastically the estimation il
which they are held by tho medical profes.
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. have been
= severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing l could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
arc the most effective and the easiest physie

speak in their praise, and always do SO
when occasion offers.

The Rev. FRANCIS B. HARLowE, writing
from Atlanta, Ca, says: "For come years
past have been subject to constipation,
from which, In spite Of the use Of medi.
eines OF various kinds, suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costiye habit. and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregc-

tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and yigor to the
whole physical economy.

AT PLAIN CITY.
A Fire i'll the School HOuse-RaY-
ages Of Measles

Yesterday morning FIRE broke out
in the ceiling of the schoolhouse in
Plain City. while the school was in pro-
gress. and had it not been for the
vigorous efforts of a number of men
who gathered to the spot, the building
would doubtless have been destroyed.
AS it was, very little damage was done.
The flames are thought to have origin
ated from the pipe getting over heated,
and setting fire to the woodwork of the
ceiling.
There are eight cases of measles ia
Plain City, and it is expected there will
be number of others, as several per
sons were exposed before the true
nature of the disease was discovered.
One OF those who are already sick is
deemed to be in a serious condition,
ard is not expected to recover. The
sch oil will be closed on Friday next, to
remain so until the further progress of
the disease is checked.-Ogden Herald.
